'Tres Jotas' Iberian mountain ham
As María says, Tres Jotas is a highly esteemed brand. 'Ibérico' because it comes from Iberian (Spanish) pigs, a local race. For 'mountain ham', see the Wikipedia article on 'jamón serrano'.

Though salt is used at the start of the process, what is most typical of 'jamón serrano' is that it is air cured for several months. See the Wikipedia article. Recently I was in a part of Spain near Granada where the hams are still cured in drying sheds (secaderos) in the cold air of the mountain villages.

Comment: "
Esta es la que más se ajusta a lo que he puesto al final ("tres jotas iberian ham" es como lo he dejado tras muchas deliberaciones), salvo lo de 'mountain' que no lo he puesto. Por eso, los puntos son para transatol, pero mil gracias a todos.
Todavía no estoy 100% segura de si tres jotas se refiere a una marca o a una manera de puntuar la calidad del jamón...
Saludos y gracias de nuevo."

Tres Jotas salt-cured Iberian ham
I think Tres Jotas might be a brand. I've seen it a lot.

I see no reason to put the brand name in quotes. As far as I've seen "Ibérico" is generally translated "Iberian".

: Yup, salt-cured is not enough, given that brined hams are also salt-cured in liquid.
